I agree overall. And yes, Felicity is interestingly quirky.
Where this episode let me down was the writing dealing with the Helena's reaction to Oliver after the impromptu foursome dinner. It felt very staged from the get go and it felt like the writer(s) had no real world relationship/human reaction experiences to draw on. I felt it was a very cheap way to setup Huntress for future appearances.
Otherwise, I think it is probably the best superhero tv show I have seen. I am impressed they have achieved what they have right out of the gate.
But as I had said a while back and others have also said, we need more Island flashbacks. There is a lot of potential there.
I agree. The characters aren't fully fleshed out yet. Hopefully this changes as the series progresses and the writers have more to draw from.
I found it to be ok at first but then i remembered this show didn't have a full season contract. Now it does so yeah I do think we going to see characters fleshed out. Plus geoff John's wrote some of the episodes.
